gatsby-plugin-ipfs
Adds support for deploying Gatsby websites to IPFS by ensuring that assets are relative.
Installation
$ npm install --save gatsby-plugin-ipfs
Usage
Set prefixPath
to __GATSBY_IPFS_PATH_PREFIX__
and include the plugin in your gatsby-config.js
file:
module.exports = {
pathPrefix: '__GATSBY_IPFS_PATH_PREFIX__',
plugins: [
'gatsby-plugin-ipfs',
]
}
And now, simply build the project with npm run build -- --prefix-paths
. Better yet, set it by default in your package.json
:
"scripts": {
"build": "gatsby build --prefix-paths"
},
But how?
It turns out the Gatsby doesn't support relative paths. But I didn't gave up and came up with smart and ugly hacks to do so:
- Adds a post-build step that iterates over files and transforms every
__GATSBY_IPFS_PATH_PREFIX__
occurrence - Adds a very small code snippet to every HTML page that defines the
__GATSBY_IPFS_PATH_PREFIX__
global based on the browser location
